Boss & Secretary in the "Red Room"

CHAPTER 1
 

In the quiet corridors of power, some doors are meant to stay closed—unless you’re invited in. Dive into the first chapter of "Boss & Secretary in the Red Room," a slow-burning tale of mystery, control, and awakening desire.


The office had always held secrets, but nothing quite like what lay behind the heavy, soundproof door at the end of the hallway. Clara had only seen it once before—briefly, when she’d accidentally opened the wrong door. That fleeting glimpse had stayed with her: soft lighting, leather-bound furniture, and a strange air of restraint and control.

She didn’t dare ask about it, not out loud. Not until tonight.

Mr. Alden leaned back in his chair, his sharp gaze pinned on her. "You’ve been curious," he said, his voice calm, yet edged with something she couldn't quite place.

Clara swallowed hard. "I didn’t mean to intrude."

"You didn’t," he said, standing. "But now that you're here after hours... I assume curiosity has finally won."

He walked past her without waiting for a response, unlocking the hidden door with a sleek card. The lock gave a soft click, and the door opened to reveal the room again—rich mahogany, deep reds, and a sense of tension that didn’t come from danger, but from something unspoken.

"This isn't a room for everyone," he said, not looking at her. "But I think you’ve earned the right to understand."

Clara stepped inside slowly, her heels soft against the polished floor. The room wasn’t vulgar—it was tasteful, meticulous. Mysterious. It felt like stepping into a different version of her boss, one she’d sensed beneath the surface: commanding, deliberate, careful with control.

"Whatever this is," she said quietly, "I want to understand."

Alden turned to face her fully now, his expression unreadable. "Then we’ll go slow. On my terms."

Clara nodded once. She wasn’t sure where this would lead—but she wasn’t afraid.
